Bill Gates Could Potentially Meet With the Taliban?

Globalist billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he would not rule out a meeting with the Taliban if it helps Afghanistan eradicate poliomyelitis.

“Honestly, I don’t know if there’s some sensitivity around that. I would do pretty much anything to help the polio campaign, it’s the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation’s top priority,” Gates told the British newspaper The Telegraph.

From The Telegraph:

Bill Gates has warned that the devastating floods in Pakistan could derail one of his greatest ambitions – to wipe polio off the face of the earth.

The Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist has been at the forefront of efforts to eradicate the debilitating childhood disease for two decades. Now, against the odds, wild polio is circulating in just two remaining strongholds – Pakistan and Afghanistan.

In an interview, Mr Gates told the Telegraph that there’s little he wouldn’t do to help eradicate polio completely.

When asked if this included sitting down with the Taliban in Afghanistan to ensure access, Mr Gates said: “Honestly, I don’t know if there’s some sensitivity around that. I would do pretty much anything to help the polio campaign, it’s the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation’s top priority.”

He said that the Foundation’s partners have been able to meet with the Taliban in Qatar, but it’s “a very complicated situation” given US sanctions. He is pleased, however, that the group kept the previous health minister in position, who “was quite capable”.

But Mr Gates warned against complacency, especially amid several significant setbacks. Both Afghanistan and Pakistan have been wracked by insecurity and humanitarian crises in the last year, complicating the response and diverting resources earmarked for polio.

The outlet noted that wild polio cases were found in Malawi and Mozambique, and a vaccine-derived strain has been circulating in the UK and US.

Gates said that world leaders are not taking the threat of disease seriously.

“The world is quite distracted, and there isn’t as much energy going into pandemic preparedness as I would expect,” he said.

Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease that hits the nervous system and can cause complete paralysis within hours. The disease is endemic in some parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to the World Health Organization.

Many Afghans have been trying to flee the country after the Taliban seized power in August 2021. Their interim government was unable to curb the existing economic, humanitarian, and security crises, which only exacerbated over the past year.
